Shizuka Hiratsuka was in a great mood today.
First, she had no classes today, so she was quite free. Second, the food in the cafeteria was quite palatable. Third, and most importantly, she had received news that Luo Lin had returned to school. Unfortunately, she had gone to class this morning and didn't see the person she'd expected to see.
But he should be here after class this afternoon, right?
She'd probably go back during class later.
Ahem, of course, the "person" Hiratsuka Shizuka met here didn't mean she loved Luo Lin.
She did like him, but it was the kind of love a teacher has for outstanding students.
Although Luo Lin wasn't the only outstanding student in the class, he was truly special to her.
How could he not be?
He was the only one in the class who dared to call the teacher by name!
She'd gotten so used to hearing him call her by name that if one day Luo Lin stopped calling her by name, she'd probably feel uncomfortable, wouldn't she?
In fact, for the past month, without Luo Lin, the guy who "loved to interact with her" and "loved to tease the teacher," Shizuka Hiratsuka had found even class boring.
So, no matter what, she had to see Luo Lin today. If she didn't see him, she wouldn't go today!
...
Then Shizuka Hiratsuka realized she could go home for the day.
After happily finishing her lunch and returning to the infirmary for her turn, she finally got to see the hot guy she'd been dreaming about.
It was just that the way they met was a little...
Could it be that she opened the door the wrong way?
Shizuka Hiratsuka leisurely walked into the infirmary, but the scene she saw was the same as her most beautiful teacher, Kirisu Mafuyu, and Luo Lin, passionately making out.
How crazy was it?
Not to mention how vigorously their tongues tangled, didn't you see them Luo Ling around on the bed, their clothes completely washed away?
Hiratsuka Shizuka was stunned by the scene before her and immediately slammed the door.
Of course, she wasn't slamming the door and leaving. To prevent anyone passing by from witnessing the scene, she locked herself in the infirmary.
With the slam of the door, the two people's passionate kiss suddenly paused. A look of panic and shame quickly crossed Kirisu Mafuyu's face. She quickly glanced over, unmoved from her connection with Luo Lin, only to find someone with a sullen face approaching them.
Kirisu Mafuyu panicked. Only then did she realize that this was a school. How could she have been so passionately kissing a student in such a place?
The key point was a passionate kiss. She was so intoxicated she'd forgotten the time, not even noticing when her clothes had been taken off.
How could this happen...
How could it be so comfortable...
She...she actually wanted more!
For the first time, Kirisu Mafuyu realized how tingling kissing could be. No wonder those couples kept talking about it all the time.
But that wasn't the key. The key was what Shizuka Hiratsuka should do.
"Hiratsuka-sensei?" Kirisu Mafuyu was terrified by the person before her. She quickly disengaged herself from her lover, picked up her office uniform, and put it on.
As a teacher, being intimate with a student in the infirmary—if word got out, it wouldn't just get her fired; it would also tarnish Luo Lin's image!
"What...are you doing?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was still visibly shaken. Especially after seeing the two of them kissing, she felt a tinge of jealousy.
What the hell?
Why was she jealous?
Could it be that she...she liked Mafuyu?
Ahem, it couldn't possibly be Luo Lin, right? He was her proudest student!
"We...we were...practicing CPR?" Kirisu Mafuyu knew there was no way she could hide this, so she even made up a completely impromptu excuse.
"Do you need to take off all your clothes to practice CPR?" Hiratsuka Shizuka angrily asked.
"It's hot..."
"It's winter!"
"The infirmary is too heated?"
"Come on, you're terrible at making excuses. Do you even know what you're doing?" Hiratsuka Shizuka demanded unhappily.
"I know, but I can't help myself. He and I are already dating, and we truly love each other." Kirisu Mafuyu stopped making excuses and simply announced their relationship.
This shocked Shizuka Hiratsuka. She had always thought Kirisu Mafuyu was a strict teacher, and that she was more or less her friend. Their dorms were next to each other, wasn't it?
She thought she knew Kirisu Mafuyu well, but she hadn't expected her to secretly maintain such a negative relationship with a student.
When exactly had she stolen Luo Lin, and why hadn't she noticed?
"Are you really dating?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked with a strange sense of resentment. For some reason, her concern was no longer about the 'teacher-student relationship,' but rather whether Luo Lin truly belonged to Kirisu Mafuyu.
"Yes, I understand that a relationship between a teacher and a student has a negative impact, but I still hope Hiratsuka-sensei won't tell anyone about it. After all, Luo Lin is your favorite student, isn't he? It would affect his image," Kirisu Mafuyu pleaded. She no longer cared about how she would be treated; she simply hoped her lover would be alright.
"Who... who said I like him!" Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't sure if she hadn't heard Mafuyu's words clearly, or if her thoughts were solely on Luo Lin.
It seemed she'd misunderstood what Mafuyu meant, and suddenly blushed and acted arrogant.
It wasn't until after her arrogant outburst that she realized she'd overreacted. Wasn't that a self-incrimination?
Hiratsuka Shizuka was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth.
Luo Lin: "..."
Kirisu Mafuyu: "..."
Luo Lin and Kirisu Mafuyu exchanged a bewildered glance, as if they were both trying to figure out if they were the only ones overthinking things.
But when they saw the surprise in each other's eyes, it became clear to them that they weren't overthinking things, and Hiratsuka Shizuka had just confessed.
"No, that was just a slip of the tongue!" Hiratsuka Shizuka's face was filled with shame. She knew they seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and for a moment, she felt completely humiliated.
She kept saying that Kirisu Mafuyu was being unkind to her students, but wasn't she secretly coveting that student?
"Then I'll just call it a slip of the tongue. After all, he's my man now, and even if it wasn't a slip of the tongue, I wouldn't give him to you." Kirisu Mafuyu's thoughts shifted from how to prevent Hiratsuka Shizuka from exposing the matter to how to prevent her from stealing him from her.
Hiratsuka Shizuka paused, as if realizing the current problem was how to steal the man. If she continued to act so arrogantly, then Luo Lin might have nothing to do with her.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes narrowed slightly, and then her attitude shifted. She also moved to Luo Lin's side and sat down next to him.
Then, gazing into Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes, as if to express her own feelings, she placed her hand on Luo Lin's...
Yes, she admitted it. She liked him.
